Tonopah elementary is a great school my son was having a hard time with some subjects. I sat down with a team of teachers and we all came up with a sulution that has so far worked out for him. When your child attends this school he or she is not a number your child is a member of teachers that love their jobs and take pride, making a difference in your children life.

About the tests

In 2010-2011 Nevada used the Criterion Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nevada. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
